Question: So we're back to rule # 1. ..."must be smoked in a prominent manner"...

That means any one element needs to be smoked, right? So if I was making a burrito, and I had smoked cheese in it, that would be sufficient? Just making sure, I'm a newbie to the TD's.

The dish needs to be a smoked dish and have cheese in it somehow. Or you can take some smoked cheese and make a dish with it. Basically as long as something is smoked and you have cheese in it you are ok.

Good Evening easter bunnies!!! Just playing with cheese today and finished up. Did quite a mix wanted to share and get your ideas....I took English Coastal Cheddar and wrapped it in Bacon overnight then placed on cheese during the smoking, I made a mix of honey and whiskey and put to pieces of sharp cheddar into a baggie with the cheese to soak overnight before I smoked, I poured maple over Gouda for another, and also made a spice rub and rubbed into the cheese...( mostly garlic, onion, maple sugar, paprika, chili powder)....and then of course a rack with plain ol' cherry/apple wood smoke!!! my fav!!!
